There seems to be a bug(let) in the note/chord detection code in Rocksmith for at least one of the chords in "My Girl". Its the one where you strum the bottom 3 strings, holding 7th fret at the high E, 8th fret at the B string, and 9th fret at the G string. The chord is first seen at the 8th part (counting the bargraphs), when levelled up to 100%.
Pretty sure this is a Rocksmith problem, and not a problem with the guitar or the tuning of the guitar, as the problem is still present after doing meticulous precision tuning, and everything else in all other songs seems to work a hundred percent. Transposing the chord up on the fret-board to the D-G-B strings (ie still playing the exact same chord, but with a different fingering shape) also did not work.
A number of players complained about this in the forum thread for the Motown DLC, and the only "solution" found seems to be to double strum the chord -- which obviously shouldn't be necessary.
So Rocksmith developers / sound engineers, please look into this.
